The Drummer's New Game.

A drummer fresh from Southern trip
sat in Solari's the other day, and said:
Boys, I've struck new game since l
saw you last, and it is going to be popu-
lar sure enough. Cards are all right
enough in smoking car with the boys,
but what fellow wants is something
that will keep his mind off from the ia
tigue of travelling, and at the same time
give him some amusement. Well, when
we left Atlanta | ran up against another
drummer, who knew all about this new
game, and we hadn't been at it more
than an hour before the whole train Of
men, women, and children were playing
it. Now the modus operandi was some
thing like this: The game is to count a
thousand points. My friend sat on one
side of the car and on the other. A
boy, dog, COW, sheep, or horse counted
10, man 10, woman 20, girl 25 and
a cat 80. A red-headed girl counted 100.
We watched out of the car window until
we reached Alexandria, Va. His score
was S75, and saw that in ten minutes he
was likely to make the 1000. had 100
and | felt pretty certain that | would
have to pay for that box of cigars. Well,
the train drew into Alexandria and there
were three red-headed girls standing on
the platform, and ran the game out on
him right there. Boston TraUeLker.

What to Wear.

An admixture of tints is to be decided.
ly fashionable this season. The black
and dark tones are gradually giving way
in England, where they have been so
popular.
Chemisettes are largely imported Of
fine plated lawn, embroidery and nee
dlework. Some of the French chemi-
settles are neatly finished with blocks
and rows of m-stitching.
Soft wooden stuffs are frequently made
up with full bodices, the plaits or gath
ers crossing over the bosoms and Joined
to the skirt draperies in looped sash or
plastron drapery.
A new bit of jewelry worn abroad,
which we are longing to see imported to
this side, is ruby almond inclosed in a
golden she'll The shell is half open,
showing the glittering ruby inside.
Leather cord applied on an alpaca
band for protecting the bottom of a
dress skirt is so far superior to the braid
so long in use that it will, without doubt,
take the place of it altogether.
A frequent arrangement of plaids or
checks and plain stuff in frock is to
make the entire skirt, undercorsage and
sleeves of the plaid or check, with cut
away overjacket or coat of plain goods.
Undressed kid gloves are worn upon
all occasions in the various shades of
brown. For evening wear white I'M
dressed kid gloves are seen, although
the light Suede tints are more fashion
able.
Underskirts of gray and black silk mo-
reen are made with a number of flounces
at the back, and set excellently. 1t is
necessary that they be made by person
who understands the requirements of
well-fitting skirt.
In the coiffures there Is generally no
parting; all the hair Is turned up and
slightly pulled out. as In the Marie An
toinette style. Then the hair Is twisted
and arranged into a loop quite in 'front.'

rest of the hair is fastened into roleau
at the back, little to the left. 1t is very
simple, but requires great care in arrang-
ing the hair at the back of the neck.
This should be done rather loosely, and
when the couture is finished the hair
should be well rolled up with the comb

gilt pins are generally used, and look
much prettier than black ones.
Something that would take the place
of the so-long-used plastron is the
"patte" seen on French costumes. 1t is
made in the shape of a heraldic shield,
and buttoned across the lower part of
the waist. Often the short plastron is
used, but the shield is an entirely differ
ent color and fabric from either plastron
or suit. With all the novelties we have
in basques, jackets and other waist COW
vering the inquiry every day is for some
thing new. Yokes are revived and used
of almost every material, such as velvet,
silk, embroidered net, passamenterie,

shirred and pulled. The Jokes are oft.
ener pointed than square across, and in
some cases three points are seen across,

What a Time

People formerly had, trying to swallow
the old-fashioned pill with its film of
magnesia vainly Disgusting its bitter
ness and what a contrast to Ayers
Pills, that have been well called "med-
icated sugar-plums" = the only fear be-
ing that patients may be tempted into
taking too many at dose. But the
directions are plain and should be
strictly followed.
j. T. Teller, NJ. D., Of Chittenango,
N. Y, expresses exactly what hundreds
have written at greater length. He
says: layers Cathartic Pills are highly
appreciated. They are perfect in form
and coating, and their effects are all
that the most careful physician could
desire. They have supplanted all the
Pills formerly popular here, and think
it must be long before any other can
be made that win at all compare with
them. Those who buy your pills get
full value for their money"
"Safe, pleasant, and certain in
their aetion,'' is the concise testimony
of DIR. George e. Walker, of Martins
vile, Virginia.

arations The public having once used
them, will have no others" = Berry,
